Global communicative objectives for the unit:
During the unit, the students will develop a degree of communicative competence in accordance with their level, the ability and knowledge necessary to be able to describe school objects using the approriate structures and the adequate vocabulary, which will be presented throughout the classes before the final task. Moreover, students will develop the ability to use the structure and vocabulary given not just to ask and answer about school objects, but also to apply them to other aspects of their everyday life.

The teacher will show her bag and will start talking about the things she has in it so as to draw the students' attention. For example:
T:'Look! (showing her pencil case) It's a pencil' Have you got a pencil?
The teacher will create another cloud in the board and is going to write the objects she mentions. The teacher will go on like this with some school objects. She will encourage students to show their object too in order to raise their involvement.
Once the cloud is completed, students will be handed in a printable activity taken from ESLcollective (offline authoring tool) in order to make their own glossary. The teacher will walk around and provide help if necessary. But, if students have doubts as regards vocabulary, i.e they don't remember the meaning of one of the words written on the board, she will encourage them to use the WILD version of the KIDS WORDSMYTH DICTIONARY.
After completing the picture dictionary, students will be asked to do an online activity on liveworksheets in which they will have to listen to the audio a choose the correct picture.

Students will go on revising the vocabulary presented with the following activities:
First, they will start with a choosing activity in Hot Potatoes (authoring tool). In order for the activity to be more appealing, the teacher will propose a competition. The first ten students that complete the choosing activity will win one point.
Then, students will have to play in pairs a memory game from Eslgamesplus. In this game, they will be exposed not only to the words we have been working with but also with new vocabulary items, like "pencil sharpener" and "paper". Even though these words have not been explicitly taught, students have heard them as part of the everyday classroom language.
WHAT'S NEXT
Students will be divided in 3 groups of 6 and will have to find the following school objects. The first team that collects them all is the winner.
Once they have collected all the items, students will have to show the school objects to the other teams using the chunk "Its's a ..."
